Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Kaitlyn! Staying close by to the amenities you want most is important! I tend to ask for different things each time, and while Cast Members will always do everything in their power to meet your request, nothing is ever 100% guaranteed.
That being said, I think
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort has a few options that would work for you. Casitas buildings 4 and 5 would suit you well, but I would also consider Cabanas buildings 9A and 9B (some of these buildings have indeed been refurbished). They have quick access to El Centro as well as the main building
bus stop, AND are located conveniently to the pool, should you want to “wake the temple” with your kids in the morning. You may be able to collect a certificate if your family is chosen and wakes the waterfall with ease. Be sure to notate these requests with
Online Resort Check-In, which is a great way to skip the front desk and get you to the fun faster!
If I can do anything to add more pixie dust to your upcoming vacation, please let me know. You’ve got a friend in me! ~ Lindsey P.
